Stinkers all but you missed a couple that were so bad I'm not even sure Rotten Tomatoes admits they exist. First up is
"The Lone Ranger" starring Quentin Spilsbury. Some one should have used the proverbial silver bullet on this one. I realize that this is not a "super hero" pro se but in the pantheon of American Heroism, I believe he gets a pass.

THe next LONE RANGER is with Johnny Depp as TONTO and I am already getting my eyeballs ready to experience what I hope will not be a fearful or quivering performance. I am afraid of Depp's ability to create odd and unusual characters being turned loose on an American Indian. This has the potential to be spectacular and just as much potential to be an abysmal flop.

10. DAREDEVIL, 2003,
Ben Affleck's nadir
I never liked DD as a kid, so no, I didn't go.

9. HULK, 2003
curiously starring Eric Bana and a plot that would shame 1000 monkeys with typewriters.
Again, I knew better

8. CATWOMAN, 2004
With Halle Berry -- I"ve never seen this movie. Don't want to hurt my delicate psyche.
Really? The trailer broke me of it.

7. ELECTRA, 2005
Even tits and ass couldn't save this "sequel" to DAREDEVIL. I've also never seen this movie.
In a word, NO.
6. FANTASTIC FOUR, 2005
I've watched this several times and it's like the Bickersons meet the idiot savants. Stop arguing, please.
Kid fare. The boy loved it. I hated it.

5. SUPERMAN RETURNS, 2006
With Brandon Routh... It kept the weakest parts of the original superman and discarded all the good stuff. Then it repeated the plot origin plot like mindlessly repeated...
Loser.
4. X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE, 2009
What a confused pile of hundreds of intricate plots and thousands of embarrassing bits of dialog.
Confusing, and a waste of electrons.

3. THE LAST AIRBENDER, 2010
M. Night Shyamalan's afterbirth squashed like road kill and splattered on the screen.
I got sucked into this turd of turds with my Godson, who was an Avatar:TLA fan. When a twelve year old tells you, This is gonna fuckin' suck" at only 5 minutes in, you've had it. People were leaving the theater by the 20 min. mark.

2. THE GREEN HORNET, 2011
This is the movie that made me hate Seth Rogan and his constant "slacker/stoner" act... I've only seen parts but I if made me want to rip out my eyeballs. AIRBENDER didn't do that. Airbender I can watch but this, this movie harms the brain and hurts the eyes and makes hemorrhoids try to exit your ass. That's the sugar coated opinion.
Got sucked into this one, too. Another turkey.

1. THE GREEN LANTERN, 2011
I had hope for about thirty seconds but then it sank into cliche and hackneyed plots and stupid character developing into a more stupid character. I mean that self-sacrifice plot has been done over and over for 2000 years and done better.
If it had been Jon Stewart and NOT Hal Jordan, maybe. Just maybe.

Actually I liked X-Men Origins thought it was good, watched a couple times added it to my collection even. As for the rest NO the only one I saw was the superman movie and then watched it again a couple years later and remembered why I forgot it, yes it was that bad.

I can watch X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE but the movie as a movie is chaos. there's 15 plot lines,
and while it's supposed to explain all the backstory questions, it only confuses the viewer with more backstory
And worst of all, it doesn't mesh with the rest of the X-Men stories.
But is is nice eye-candy.
I do go back and watch THE GREEN LANTERN when it is free and not on PPV.
It's awful but I write well and prolifically when it is on the TV. That means that I am really not watching it.
